January may be over, that doesn’t mean it’s time to indulge in unhealthy and processed food. Stay on the right track with these delicious and high-protein teriyaki tofu and cauliflower rice rolls!

These rolls are perfect for when you want something quick and healthy that doesn’t taste like it. It’s savory, a bit spicy and sour, and packed with umami.

From start to finish, I would say this recipe takes about 30-35 minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight.

You start by blanching the cabbage leaves to soften them. I went with savoy cabbage as it’s what I had on hand but feel free to use collard greens or even lettuce leaves! Please note that if you use savoy cabbage, especially if the leaves are large, I recommend removing the stem that can be a bit hard to chew.

Then we sautée some garlic, ginger, red peppers, mushrooms, and tofu for extra protein. Add the cauliflower rice and cook until it becomes soft and fluffy.

Next, it’s time to add the teriyaki sauce that will add a ton of flavor. It consists of soy sauce combined with lime juice, a bit of maple syrup, sesame oil, and a tiny amount of sambal oelek for spiciness. If you want it spicier, feel free to add more of your favorite chili paste/sauce.

Finally, for even more flavor and freshness, top with sliced green onions.

If you are not a fan of greens, I’m sure this tofu and cauliflower rice would make a tasty taco filling!

These sweet and salty rolls come together very quickly and each one packs over 9 grams of protein, meaning having two is acceptable. Oh, and the filling keeps very well in the refrigerator, it can be reheated or eaten cold. Both are delicious.
